How big is the semiconductor industry?From : http://www.fabtech.org/news/_a/gartner_ups_2008_semiconductor_forecast_lowers_growth_to_04_in_2011
How big is the semiconductor industry?
$287B (est)2008
$200B2004
$100B1994
$50B1990
$25B1984
At the current growth rate, it will top $300B before the end of this decade!
Semiconductor sales do not include the sales of the electronic systems in which they are installed and this marked is much bigger !!

Dunnington - with 6 cores[20]Dunnington - the last CPU of the Penryn generation and Intel's first multi-
core (above two) die - will feature a single-die six core design with three unified 3 MB L2 caches (resembling three merged 45 nm dual-core Wolfdaledies), and 96 KB L1 cache (Data) and 16 MB of L3 cache. It is expected to feature 1066 MHz FSB, fit into the Tigerton's mPGA604 socket, and be compatible with the Caneland chipset. These processors are expected to support DDR2-1066 (266 MHz), and to have a max. power consumption (TDP) below 130 W. They are intended for blades and other stacked computer systems. Availability is scheduled for the second half of 2008. It will be followed shortly by the Nehalem microarchitecture.
Near Term
Selected Semiconductor Trends• Microprocessors
– State of the art technology is now 32nm with over 1Billion transistors on a chip
• DRAMS– State of the art is now 2G bits on a chip which
requires somewhere around 2.5 Billion transistors• FPGA
– FPGAs currently have over 800Million transistors and are growing larger
Device count on a chip has been increasing rapidly with time, device size has been decreasing rapidly with time and speed/performance has been rapidly increasing
Moore’s LawFrom Webopedia
The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuitshad doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future. In subsequent years, the pace slowed down a bit, but datadensity has doubled approximately every 18 months, and this is the current definition of Moore's Law, which Moore himself has blessed. Most experts, including Moore himself, expect Moore's Law to hold for at least another two decades.
Growth of transistor counts for Intel processors (dots) and Moore's Law (upper line=18 months; lower line=24 months)
(from Wikipedia)
Feature SizeThe feature size of a process generally corresponds to the minimum lateral dimensions of the transistors that can be fabricated in the process
Feature Size of MOS Transistor
Bounding Region Bounding region often a factor of 10 or more largerThan area of transistor itself
Moore’s Law
Moore's law is the empirical observation that the complexity of integrated circuits, with respect to minimum component cost, doubles every 24 months[1]. It is attributed to Gordon E. Moore[2], a co-founder of Intel.
• Often misinterpreted or generalized
• Many say it has been dead for several years
• Many say it will continue for a long while
• Not intended to be a long-term prophecy about trends in thesemiconductor field
Device scaling, device count, circuit complexity, … will continue to dramatically improve for the foreseeable future !!

Challenges
• Managing increasing device count• Short lead time from conception to
marketplace• Process technology advances• Device Performance Degradation• Increasing variability• Increasing pressure for cost reduction• Power Dissipation
Future Trends and Opportunities• Is there an end in sight?
• Will engineers trained in this field become obsolete at mid-career ?
No ! But the direction the industry will follow is not yet known and the role semiconductor technology plays on society will increase dramatically!
No ! Engineers trained in this field will naturally evolve to support the microelectronics technology of the future. Integrated Circuit designers are now being trained to efficiently manage enormous levels of complexity and any evolutionary technology will result in even larger and more complexity systems with similar and expanded skills being required by the engineering community with the major changes occurring only in the details.
Future Trends and Opportunities• Will engineers trained in this field be doing
things the same way as they are now at mid-career?
• What changes can we expect to see beyond the continued geometric growth in complexity (capability) ?
No ! There have been substantive changes in approaches every few years since 1965 and those changes will continue. Continuing education to track evolutionary and revolutionary changes in the field will be essential to remain productive in the field.
That will be determined by the creativity and marketing skills of those who become immersed in the technology. New “Gordon Moores”, “Bill Gates” and “Jim Dells” will evolve.
Creation of Integrated Circuits
Most integrated circuits are comprised of transistors along with a small number of passive components and maybe a few diodes
This course will focus on understanding how transistors operate and on how they can be interconnected and possibly combined with a small number of passive components to form useful integrated circuits
